Welcome to Alf!

Hi there! We are Alf – a newly formed tech company within Länsförsäkringar Alliance. With a client base of more than 1,8 million households, Länsförsäkringar is one of Sweden’s biggest financial groups. Alf is on a mission to create a secure and sustainable way of living by adding cutting-edge IoT tech to 200+ years of experience from helping customers taking care of their homes.

About the job.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Alf, you’ll be a core part of our backend team, taking on a key role in the development and maintenance of our backend services that manage our connected devices and support frontend app development. You’ll be involved throughout the entire development process, from design and architecture to implementation, working closely with external partners to ensure our event-driven architecture is realized effectively.

In addition to building backend logic for our IoT solutions and supporting services, you’ll contribute your ideas and insights in discussions around solutions, architecture, and new features. You’ll collaborate with other teams such as security, data analysis, and DevOps to ensure a comprehensive and efficient solution across our systems. Furthermore, you’ll take responsibility for creating and maintaining documentation that describes our system architecture, implemented solutions, configurations, and integrations.

In this role, you will also be expected to work autonomously, taking ownership of your tasks while actively participating in daily standups, refinement sessions, and retrospectives, all in line with our two-week sprint cycle. You'll report directly to the Head of Backend Development.

About you.

You bring a degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience in backend development. Ideally, you have a solid understanding of modern development methodologies and thrive in fast-moving, progressive environments.

Experience with event-driven systems and IoT will certainly give you an edge, though it’s not required. Familiarity with our tech stack, which includes Node.js, JavaScript, JSON, REST APIs, Kubernetes, Docker, and databases like MongoDB or other NoSQL systems, as well as relational databases, will help you get off to a running start.

As a person, you are self-driven and proactive, taking ownership of your work and continually seeking ways to improve both processes and solutions. Your approach to problem-solving is solution-oriented, and you enjoy tackling challenges with creativity and adaptability. Collaboration is key for you, and you work well with others, listening carefully and communicating clearly to contribute to a positive and productive team dynamic.
